Naval Small Craft Instruction and Technical TrainingSchool (NAVSCIATTS or SCIATTS) is a Security Cooperationschoolhouse operating under U.S. Special OperationsCommand in support of Foreign Security Assistance andGeographic Combatant Commanders’ Theater SecurityCooperation priorities.

NAVSCIATTS trains and educates Partner Nation SpecialOperations Forces (SOF), combat support, and combat service support personnel. Partner Nation forces are trainedacross the tactical, operational, and strategic spectrumsthrough in-residence and Mobile Training Team (MTT)Courses of Instruction (COI). COIs include operations,repairs, sustainment of craft (both riverine and littoral),communications, weapons, small unit tactics, range safety,Unmanned Aircraft Systems, intel fusion operations, as wellas Partner Nation instructor development. While the nameimplies, “naval” and “small craft,” more than half of thecurrent courses apply to any security force. Examplesinclude the Diesel Systems Overhaul and Maintenance andInternational Tactical Communications.

In addition, NAVSCIATTS has the ability to meet emergentrequirements from operational commanders. NAVSCIATTS’training engagements help develop, shape and maintainlong-term strategic relationships over decades and protectthe investment of the U.S. and our key Partner Nations.To date, NAVSCIATTS has trained with more than 13,000 students from 123 Partner Nations.

Strategic Leaders International Course

The purpose of the Strategic Leaders International Course (SLIC) is to build partner capacity by offering senior military leaders (O5-O7 level) and senior government officials of partner nations new perspectives, methodologies, and opportunities for thinking strategically and for designing strategies that successfully address complex challenges. Strategic Leaders are introduced to methods and processes for Design Thinking, Systems Thinking, and Public Interest Communications and receive instruction from professionals who currently use these methodologies and processes in the public and private sectors.

During the course, Strategic Leaders will apply these methods in hands-on exercises, in various case studies, and in a capstone exercise designed against a current strategic challenge relevant to student countries. This course is best suited for senior leaders interested in exploring leading-edge strategic thinking and in fostering enduring international relationships for a complex world.

Length: 18 - 24 monthsPNI MASL: P145149

Partner Nation Instructor Program

Partner Nation Instructors (PNI) are Junior Officers (O2-O3) or Senior Enlisted (E7-E9) nominated by their own countries to serve 18-24 months at NAVSCIATTS as a guest instructor. PNIs benefit from this opportunity through gaining instructor training qualifications, leadership skills development and working with a highly professional team that trains Foreign Security Force students from around the world.

The PNI is designed for small craft waterborne, small unit tactics, unmanned aerial vehicle, intelligence operations or maintenance instructors who will return to their home country with the experience of performing as part of a professional training staff. The expectation is that the gained experience will enhance their ability to implement changes to training organization processes and programs, understand resource and facility requirements needed to run an effective training facility, develop comprehensive training plans and professionalize curriculum delivery methods.

One of, if not the primary benefit of training with NAVSCIATTS, is relationship-building. Many of our alumni remain in contact with the staff in regards to professional matters, such as evolving technologies or ever present training opportunities. The ability to provide training across course curriculums also provides an invaluable training opportunity and the formation of relationships.

“NAVSCIATTS is the ‘Tip of the Spear’ in Security Cooperation/Security Assistance training.”
